About the Artwork
Too Many Flowers comes from John Robert Hermann’s Milieu series (2015), a body of work reflecting the times in which we live.
The title began quite literally: the composition was created with what might be considered too many flowers. From that abundance emerged a broader idea. Beauty can be universally recognized, while attraction remains personal. No single face, figure, silhouette, or style can represent every ideal. Each person carries a distinctive combination worthy of recognition and admiration.
Adapted from Hermann’s original fine artwork, Too Many Flowers moves beyond the frame and becomes wearable art.
The painterly composition flows from the halterneck bodice through the long skirt, while the open back changes how its colors and forms frame the wearer.
We take fine art beyond the frame and into everyday life. Original artwork by artist John Robert Hermann transforms this piece into a distinctive expression of ArtDogs design. Each piece is individually crafted for its future owner at our production partner’s London workshop after the order is placed. This approach avoids speculative inventory and the waste created by unsold goods. Our production partner publishes commitments to fair pay and supply-chain due diligence addressing forced labor, human trafficking, and child labor. The sleeveless cut, low-cut back, halter-neck style, and luxurious fabric choices are ideal for formal events, evening wear, prom, weddings, and more. For a dramatic accent, the backless dress offers a choice between a floor-length train and no train, with the fabric at the ankle or below. Choose the luxurious Silk Sensation Poly or 100% Silk Satin fabric.
